To determine

To find: the geometric mean of the given two numbers

Answer to Problem 2CT

The geometric mean between the two given numbers is $6.928$

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Two numbers 6 and 8.

Formula Used:

The geometric mean between two numbers a and b is defined by the relation,

  $c=\sqrt{ab}$

Calculation:

For the numbers 6 and 8,the geometric mean can be calculated using the given formula as,

  $\begin{array}{c}c=\sqrt{6\times 8}\\ =\sqrt{48}\\ =6.928\end{array}$
